Default Help ASAP - Interior lights will not turn off!!!

Just as the title says. I was trying to reset my Window Valet, not sure if that has anything to do with it. But the trunk lights and mirror lights will not shut off when the car is shut and locked or even unlocked and running.

I need my car for a meeting at 8AM, please help me, I don't want to have a dead battery!

It's an 03 Z

Easily done; don't feel bad.

I often wonder if that's the cause of many of the dead batteries we see around here

The body shop must have turned it when they were cleaning out the interior before delivery because I never touch that **** so I had no idea what it was.
